MTR rolls out contactless bank card payment for train rides

Visa will be the first bank card that will be accepted for payment.

Starting 23 December, commuters can use their Visa card to pay for their MTR train rides.

“Passengers can tap their contactless credit card/debit card or devices such as smartphones and smartwatches with payment enabled with these cards at the credit card readers on the light blue gates,” MTR Corporation announced.

MTR Corporation said each station in the MTR heavy rail network, except Airport Express stations, is currently equipped with at least two entry/exit gates providing contactless bank card payment service.

Stations that tourists frequently use also have more new gates.

For faster identification, MTR has wrapped grates supporting the new payment function in light blue.

By the third quarter of 2024, gates will be able to accept more bank cards apart from Visa.
